I have flash player. *Whipcrack*
Right, some useful (hopefully!) android stuffs...
#1: Astro file manager: Yes it is a trial. But it does what you need it to. Nice looking file manager which has the ability to extract zip files and rar files, although I have encountered a few problems extracting rar files.
#2: FPse: Playstation one emulator for Android. So far the only one I've managed to get working on both my old Orange San Francisco (slow and pointless) and my Xperia Arc S (runs fine but with "clicky" sound).
#3: Titanium Backup: A full backup suite for android phones. Seriously worth paying for the full version (circa £2.99 if I recall correctly). Backs EVERYTHING up, mainly focused on the stuff your google account won't/can't backup.
#4: BBC iPlayer: I don't know how fussy you guys are about watching TV on tiny screens but for me it's no issue. BBC iPlayer runs like a dream on WiFi, and actually runs acceptably well on 3G, although you're pushing it if you try to play in high quality. EDIT: Errr... no, it doesn't stream on 3G. AT ALL. WUT.
#5: MP3 Music Download: Probably totally illegal. You can download songs for free. Ad supported (to the point of being slightly annoying, but the app itself does what it is meant to). Don't know how long this will survive in google play (formerly android market) before being discovered.
#6: Steam: A no-brainer for those of you who use it on your desktop. Currently supports chat, wishlists, you can browse the store.. basically you can do everything except play games, although I have a funny feeling that will eventually come.
There are many "battery saver" and "task killer" apps around for android devices. I'm fortunate enough to have a phone which is relatively high-spec (although it won't be long before it's uselss as it is unfortunately only single-core), but for those of you who have old or budget android devices, try "advanced task killer" (my fav) or "easy task killer" (newer, looks promising). Battery saving apps.... you're on your own. I find most of them over-complicated and pretty ineffective.
What sort of thigns do you want to do on your phone? What are your main priorities? I may sound like an android rep or something here, but it really is customisable, with apps for (pretty much) anything (within reason, not found a gps-based-dogging-spot-finder-app yet).
A teeny tiny bit of "Android Vs xxxxx OS":
Android Vs iOS: Err... flash player. I actually know nothing about iPhones, apart from the fact that the first time I ever saw one of those retina displays I almost jizzed in my pants.
Android Vs Windows phone:
AFAIK with WP7 you have to use the Zune software (DON'T get me started on the PC software!) to use a custom ringtone!! I REPEAT: There is no way you can just "use" a piece of music on your phone as a ringtone. You have to fuck about with your PC.
Windows phone has no bluetooth file transfer.
Windows phone has no ability to use your phone as a hotspot (well, some do, but the updates are rolling out very slowly).
Windows phone has a SHIT selection of apps. Although, weirdly, many which are free on WP7 are paid-for on Android and iPhone.
OH AYE.... Danny.... here y'are mate:

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
